I'll start: printers.

I bought an HP in March 2020 when my job went remote and HP bricked it remotely after only 100 pages because I wouldn't sign up for their subscription program. Ended up trashing a perfectly good printer.

Luckily my library's close by and I can print there remotely.

They started adding ads all over that Google news feed when you swipe right from your homescreen last year, the one that's built into the Pixel launcher.

    Thankfully, this shit isn't a part of Android itself (yet) and can easily be purged into oblivion with couple simple clicks.
    What is unusable now is Google Play, and you kinda have to use it, or face inconvenience. But recently I am increasingly discovering that finding an apk on a separate website and installing it directly is faster and less offensive than using this eyecancer.
